42 Chapter 4 Migrating the iCal, iPhoto, and Address Book Libraries
Note If you are new to Bento for Mac, you can’t display the iCal data in Bento. The iCal
Tasks and Events libraries are not supported for new users.
Migrating the iPhoto Library
Displaying the iPhoto library is no longer supported in Bento. When you start Bento
for Mac, if you have an existing Bento iPhoto library, Bento asks you to migrate the
data. You must migrate the iPhoto library before you can start using Bento for Mac.
Follow the onscreen instructions to migrate the iPhoto library to a Bento Photos
library. Bento copies only the following iPhoto library records to the Photos library:
• Any iPhoto library records that are referenced in related data fields.
• Any iPhoto library records that contain data in fields that were created in Bento.
Bento does not create a Photos library or migrate the data if there are no records that
meet the migration requirements.
The Bento Photos library is not connected to the Mac OS iPhoto application.
Note After migrating the iPhoto library, you continue to be able to add images from
iPhoto into Bento media fields.
Migrating the Address Book Library
You can’t sync the Address Book library in Bento for Mac with Bento 4 for iPad. When
you sync Bento for Mac with Bento 4 for iPad, if you have an existing Bento Address
Book library, Bento asks you to migrate the data.
Follow the onscreen instructions to migrate the data from the Bento Address Book
library to a Bento Contacts library. The Bento Contacts library is not connected to the
Mac OS Address Book application.
For information about syncing, see ”Syncing Bento for Mac with Bento for iPhone or
Bento for iPad” on page 131.
To migrate the data, you can also choose your device in the Devices section of the
Libraries pane, then click Migrate. Follow the onscreen instructions to migrate the
data.
For information about displaying the Address Book library, see ”Displaying Data from
the Address Book Application” on page 38.
Note You can also import the data from the Address Book library when you create a
new Bento Contacts library using the Contacts template. See
”Creating a Library Using
the Bento Templates” on page 30.
